Equity Mates Media
About this episode

What your portfolio looks like at 60 should be very different to 20, or even 40. Your investing should evolve as your life does. In this episode, we show you how to make every decade count.

It’s never too late to change your financial future. At every stage of life there are steps you can take to get the most out of the years ahead.


We cover:

  • A model portfolio for each key decade; 20s, 40s and 60s.
  • Why time is your biggest advantage in your 20s.
  • The traps to avoid in your 40s (hello, lifestyle creep).
  • How to de-risk in your 60s without missing out on income
